Trump Visit To UK In Doubt After Tweets

President Trump's proposed state visit to UK sometime in 2018 has unofficially been placed on indefinite hold after Trump re-tweeted inflammatory anti-muslim videos originally posted by Jayda Fransen the deputy leader of a far right wing hate group called 'Britain First'.

Jayda Fransen is currently facing criminal prosecution in UK for hate speech. The name of her group was invoked by Thomas Alexander Mair when he murdered Jo Cox the Labour MP for Batley and Spen in Yorkshire on 16 June 2016 shortly before the Brexit referendum.
